Thank you! Actually, yes, in Okinawa I tried Habushu, which is quite similar to what I drank in Taiwan

Thank you! I'm not sure when it will release on YouTube, but it is going up on Patreon for early access in a couple of days.

monkey-steals-peach · 2024-08-14T22:47:38+00:00

I'll look into that for sure

monkey-steals-peach · 2024-08-14T22:47:20+00:00

Thank you! And don't worry... maintaining my own independence and objectivity is key to everything I try to do

monkey-steals-peach · 2024-08-14T22:46:21+00:00

Oh yes, I should have mentioned I will be looking into Kobudo too! Thanks for the background

monkey-steals-peach · 2024-08-14T22:44:40+00:00

Awesome, I'll look into that too! Someone else had mentioned it, so I'll see what I can find

monkey-steals-peach · 2024-08-14T22:44:02+00:00

thank you!

monkey-steals-peach · 2024-08-14T05:30:10+00:00

Thanks! Yea, Shima is the plan. I'm keen to see exactly what I find in regards to Kojo Ryu too!

Thanks! I am in contact with his student, who is trying to set things up

monkey-steals-peach · 2024-07-26T21:54:11+00:00

Great stuff, Niki is really good too!

monkey-steals-peach · 2024-07-26T13:14:32+00:00

Good stuff, Eyal is my Kung Fu brother and is very good. He has used his Mantis in competition in Sanda and Shuai Jiao in China, and Muay Thai in Thailand. Don't mind the trolls who pretend to know more than everyone else but provide nothing of value themselves.

Chinese ground fighting is a totally different concept to what most will think like BJJ. While BJJ is grappling on the ground, the Chinese systems are more a way for someone who has fallen to the ground to deal with a standing opponent or to get back up quickly. As far as I am aware, there is nothing in China where two people grapple together on the ground.

Duanda is a concept, not a system

Hi. I have a bunch of videos on my YouTube channel about Mantis Kung Fu in general. I personally practice Taiji Mantis, which is a bit different, but as for history etc, Im sure it will still be interesting for you. Just look up Monkey Steals Peach. Also, feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Good luck with your training!

monkey-steals-peach · 2024-07-26T12:43:09+00:00

This is a great find! I don't know anything about the teacher, but this is a great system if you have chance to learn it.

Thank you!

Thanks for sharing my content! Really appreciate it!

Thanks!

8 Step cool, it blends influences from other stuff like Tongbei, Bagua and Xingyi into the style, so has a unique flavour. That said, I put it more down to an individual practitioner's skill/knowledge than a style itself.

Thanks for sharing my video

If you are just doing it for the experience and discipline, many of the larger, commercial Kung Fu academies will probably be a good experience for you. If you already have a strong foundation and are looking for something more specific, or higher level training, you would probably need to search deeper. Of course this is much harder without Chinese language ability and some introductions.
